Please keep my dad and me in your prayers. He is back on hospice. Hasn't been out in two weeks, is too weak to go out and starts coughing like he is going to cough his lungs out. I am giving him breathing treatments every five hours around the clock.

I also need prayers for protection for my lungs. People come to visit and have smells. I am getting affected in my own home. Yet dad thrives with visitors, so don't want to deny him. May just need to start wearing my mask inside when we have visitors.

Was able to get someone to sit with him Saturday so could go out with a cousin and Aunt to celebrate Aunt's birthday. Hope to be able to get someone to sit with him on Weds nights so I can go to church. We have midweek worship and I could get my batteries refilled and get some social time.

Thanks in advance for the prayers. Will try to check in as I am able, conscious enough to make sense, to do so.

My friend's baby girl is in surgery right now having an eye removed because of a build up of pressure that could not be relieved by surgery. She is fully blind in that eye (and mostly blind in the other) and has been in extreme pain for several days. Please pray for this little princess that her pain will leave with her eye and she will be back to her joyful bouncy self. I believe her 5th birthday was this past weekend, but she was in too much pain to enjoy it.

Update: She came through the surgery not long after I posted. She will hopefully be released around lunchtime tomorrow and then get an artificial eye in 3 weeks.

Twenty-five years ago, a church bus was returning to the Radcliff/Elizabethtown, Kentucky, area with children and adult chaperones from their trip to the King's Island.

At the same time, a drunk driver was headed north. Near Carrollton, Kentucky, his pickup truck crossed the median and crashed into the door of the school bus. The children, who had been tired and sleeping from the day's activities, woke up to a fireball inside the bus.

Twenty-seven people died that night, mostly children. Some of the survivors were badly burned. The drunk driver survived and served his time in prison, and the bus manufacturers created safer buses.

On this anniversary, please say a prayer for the survivors, their families, and the families of those who did not survive.

Thank you for the update. It sounds like she still has a very long way to go, knowing from a similar experience.... We will keep praying for her.

Please pray for the dam across the road. It is a very old earthen dam with holes in it from the gators and beavers. We have received about 16 inches of rain in under 36 hours.

Dad said the last time we received 19 inches in 36 hours the dam broke and the water came up to the bottom of the house. My aunt remembers snakes, eels and fish getting in the house.

The dam was built three feet higher when it was rebuilt. The water is already running over the top of the gates on the spillway. My cousin will come tomorrow and pull the gates some. He is concerned that will blow the culvert under the road out and possibly wash under the house. I share his concern, but would rather see the culvert go than the whole dam.

Things could be getting even more interesting in our house! Your prayers are greatly appreciated.

My aunt Lorriene. Her cancer is back in a bad way and her blood test results are so bad they usually can't give her treatment. She is so bad I wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't die before my dad
.

My aunt Wanda has bladder cancer. The chemo and radiation is beginning to get to her. She was running a fever Friday and slept 12 hours Saturday night. She also has no appetite, which is REALLY unusual for her.

Dad's hospice volunteer Catherine has cancer and won't be serving as his hospice volunteer any longer.

Marie, our main driver, had all her muscles freeze up on her last week and totalled her car. She doesn't know what happened and hasn't been able to get in and see her doctor yet about it.

And of course my dad. He is having trouble swallowing everything now. We puree a lot of his food. His breathing sounds horrible most of the time.

Thanks for the prayers! They are the best gift we can give or receive.

My grandmother was admitted to hospital this morning. She began having problems last night, but in her independence did not want to be taken to the ER last night. She will be in hospital in the next few days for tests, and observation, and whatever else. She is going in for an MRI tonight and speaking with physical therapists and speech therapists and all that. She has a weakness on her right side that they are observing and her blood pressure is high.

I'm leaving in a few hours to get ready to fly to the other side of the country for training and will only have intermittent internet over the next few days if at all.

Update (8:00pm Woot Standard Time): She is in ICU because of her high blood pressure, the shots have started to bring it down. She's mad she's there, she doesn't want anyone to know, so if you follow me on FB please don't post on my wall.
